Paige had never seen such a "real" side of her mother before.
Even after leaving the bar, the little girl still had a look of disbelief on her face.
It could be said that the scene just now had a great impact on the little girl's young mind.
Mr. Mike, on the other hand, easily accepted the stark contrast in Linda's demeanor.
After all, as an adult, having two faces sometimes seems very reasonable.
"Mike, actually… my mother isn't usually like this…" Paige secretly glanced at Mike's profile and explained softly.
In the little girl's opinion, the scene just now was too awkward.
Moreover, scientific research shows that "going crazy" can also be hereditary.
So, the overly intelligent Paige was very afraid that Mike would misunderstand.
"I understand, when adults are under too much pressure, they will want to vent a little…" Mike helped the little girl find a very reasonable explanation.
Only after Paige calmed down did Mike continue to ask, "Is your father home this weekend?"
As mentioned before, Mike's next plan's preferred location was Paige's home.
If Barry was home, they would need to choose a new location, which would be very troublesome and might not have as good an effect.
"Probably not." Paige said, "My father usually spends his weekends at the clinic.
He only comes home very late…"
It made sense; with a strong-willed wife who didn't care about him, any man wouldn't want to go home much.
"Alright, let's go to your house first to take a look.
If no one's there, we can start decorating." Mike finished speaking, then suddenly asked, "Oh, by the way, you have the house keys, right?"
"Of course~" Paige smiled and pulled a set of keys from her pocket.
Afterward, the two successfully arrived at Paige's house, and as the girl had expected, there was no one else at home.
"Where's your sister?" Mike asked, looking at the empty room.
"She should be at a classmate's party right now." When her sister was mentioned, Paige's expression also became complicated.
It must be said that in this family, Erica completely suffered from Paige's undeserved misfortune.
Parental attention would easily fall on Paige, the child prodigy.
Therefore, Erica, who was ordinary in all aspects, would unconsciously be ignored by her family.
Moreover, her parents might often compare her to her genius sister.
This was also a source of distress for the siblings of a genius.
In this regard, Georgie and Missy also had a lot to say.
Mike, seeing that Paige didn't want to talk much about her sister, wisely didn't ask further on this topic.
Afterward, he simply checked the layout of Paige's house, and his plan became clearer in his mind.
As a middle to upper-class family, Paige's house, although not as grand as Regina's and Karen's villas, was much larger in scale than Connie's and the Cooper family's.
Mike measured the distance from the yard to the living room, then called the wedding planning courier company and stated his needs.
Soon, a pickup truck loaded with bouquets and various ribbon decorations arrived at Paige's doorstep.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Mike?" a man in a tie, who looked like a manager, said to Mike standing at the door, "We have brought everything according to your needs."
"That's me," Mike nodded.
After receiving confirmation, the man in the tie looked at Mike's overly young face and responsibly asked, "Are you sure you don't need our involvement in the setup here?"
"Yes, I already have a very complete plan." Mike replied.
"Alright, the customer is king, after all" The man in the tie didn't dwell on it too much; instead, he made a small joke.
For this plan, Mike had prepared ample funds, which might have been the reason why the man in the tie was so accommodating.
After all, as long as the money was in place, the customer could be God.
Then Mike told the man in the tie his requirements, and the other party took two blue-collar workers and got busy.
More than two hours later, a "flower path" leading from the yard to the living room was completed.
Fresh flowers, ribbons, balloons, and a bright background perfectly created a romantic atmosphere.
After paying and sending off the man in the tie and the workers, Mike saw that it was about time and asked, "Paige, do you know if your parents have a favorite restaurant?"
"There's a specialty steakhouse; my parents seem to really like the taste of the steak there…" Paige thought for a moment and said.
"Very good, do you know their reservation number?" Mike continued to ask.
"Of course~" For Paige, the little prodigy, remembering a phone number was not difficult.
There was still some time until dinner, but considering the time it would take for Paige's parents to get back, making a reservation now wasn't too early.
So, Mike called the specialty steakhouse.
While making the reservation, Mike also asked the restaurant for a candlelight dinner setup.
Of course, the most important red wine couldn't be left out.
It could be said that this whole setup today made Mike spend a little extra.
Soon, the restaurant's special "candlelight dinner" was delivered and placed in the living room.
Looking at the dreamlike romantic scene before her, Paige seemed to sense something and looked up, asking, "Mike, you must have no shortage of girlfriends, right?"
"Huh?" Mike, who was rechecking the setup, didn't immediately understand the little girl's train of thought.
"From the way you are, you seem to know very well how to please girls," Paige explained.
So that's how it was…
Mike smiled and shook his head, pointing to his handsome face, and said, "Do you think I need to please girls with this face?"
Although it sounded a bit shameless, what Mike said was indeed true.
Paige seemed stunned by Mike's shamelessness, her eyes wide as she stared blankly at him.
"Alright, time is running out.
Next, you need to imitate your parents' handwriting and write a short 'confession' letter to each of them.
After that, we should leave…" Mike rubbed the little girl's hair, changing the subject.
"Hmph!" Paige dodged Mike's big hand, smoothed her hair, and asked, "How should I write the confession letter?"
"Write two heartfelt sentences, or just copy two appropriate love poems," Mike said casually.
Now the main scene was already set up, and the confession letter was just a little extra touch.
So, at Mike's instigation, the little girl scribbled on two cards for a while, then placed them separately in two large bouquets of flowers.
Afterward, after marking Paige's parents' names in the corresponding positions, Mike took the little girl and left the house.
The two found a hidden spot across from the house, and Paige first called her mother.
"Mom! Daddy told me to tell you that he's prepared a surprise for you at home, hurry back…"
After the call connected, Paige spoke the words she had discussed with Mike beforehand.
Linda, on her part, actually still had feelings for her husband, and after receiving her daughter's call, she was clearly a little surprised.
Soon, Linda, having resumed her dignified appearance, rushed home.
When she saw the heart-shaped balloons hanging at the yard gate, a smile appeared on her face.
Then, she stepped onto the flower path leading directly to the living room with an even more joyful expression…
Mike and Paige, hiding across the street, had been observing Linda's reaction.
When he saw her happily walk into the house, Mike knew the plan was half successful.
"Now you can call your dad," Mike said immediately.
Paige nodded and called her father again.
"Dad! Mom, to reconcile with you, has prepared a surprise for you at home, hurry back…" With the experience of the first call, Paige cleverly guided her father in the call.
Soon, Barry also drove back.
When he saw the decorations in the house, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
…
After Paige's parents had both entered the house, Mike and Paige also came to the front of the yard, looking inside.
The success of this plan depended on this one attempt.
In the room, Paige's father, after reading the small card in the bouquet, got up and hugged his wife.
And seeing the two embracing, Mike knew his plan had succeeded.
"Alright, we really should go now," Mike reminded the little girl, who was staring intently.
Next, some scenes unsuitable for children might appear in the room.
If they didn't leave soon, Paige might get embarrassed again.
